In It for the Long Haul

Baby Rhino Offers Hope

The birth of southern white rhino Neville may help save the functionally extinct northern white rhino—of which only two remain on Earth. Born at the Safari Park’s Nikita Kahn Rhino Rescue Center in August, Neville’s arrival shows that his mother, Livia, could be capable of being a surrogate mother to a northern white rhino embryo in the future. The Northern White Rhino Initiative is dedicated to saving the species through innovative reproductive technologies, and Neville’s birth is a crucial milestone .

World Rhino Day

Cutting-edge science and community involvement are integral to our global conservation work, and they made for an engaging itinerary for guests to the Zoo and Safari Park on World Rhino Day in September. Special events included a behind-the-scenes look at conservation science, including the Frozen Zoo.

Strengthening Ties

With shared goals of saving, protecting, and caring for wildlife, we continue nurturing collaboration with Kenya’s Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, Kenya Wildlife Service, and the Wildlife Research and Training Institute as we support new opportunities for the Nairobi Safari Walk and the Nairobi National Park. Stephen Chege, B.V.M., M.Sc., works in-country, bringing a deep knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife and conservation landscape as he collaborates closely with partners to identify research opportunities and priorities.
